Forge Folded Handmade Swords at Lyuesword
At Lyuesword, we offer/make a generous variety of forge folded handmade swords which are each special in their own unique way. So, what makes these swords different from many others that you’ll find? It’s the process of making them that sets them apart and makes them truly spectacular.

The term used to describe these swords tells you how they are made.
For one thing, they’re hand forged, which instantly makes them stand out. Hand forging is a tedious process that is largely obsolete in the modern sword industry. It involves tedious hammering of the metal to form the perfect shape by hand, and while it takes longer, it yields a more high-quality product as the manufacturer has complete control over each and every blade.

The folding process is where things really get interesting. This is a key feature of Japanese swords and is one major aspect that makes them so desirable. While most swords are simply forged and ready to go, the folding process continuously folds the metal into itself in order to purify and strengthen the blade. This is another extremely time-consuming process that requires expert precision and care. Our forge folded handmade swords come from expert swordsmiths who have studied these ancient techniques closely, in order to reproduce the results in modern-day society.

Types of Forge Folded Handmade Swords
The process used to produce these swords was first developed in Japan centuries ago, and is still used today by finer swordsmiths in Japanese and China. You’ll see that we offer/make a number of stunning Japanese swords. We have a wide array of both katana and wakizashi swords, which can be used together to embody the role of a samurai. We also offer/make Chinese Han Jian swords and Wushu swords which use the same techniques to yield such stunning results.


Why Sword Enthusiasts Love Forge Folded Handmade Swords
Now, let’s get into the specifics as to why forge folded handmade swords are so desirable among serious sword enthusiasts.

#1: Aesthetically Pleasing
The process of folding the metal when creating the blades leads to a unique aesthetic advantage over other swords, as it produces a visually striking grain throughout the metal which is reminiscent of high-end wood.
This grain allows you to see with your own eyes the result of folding the metal over and over again. The more intricate the grain, the more folding occurred, which is usually a sign of quality and prestige. Our folded swords all have this stunning grain which is simply beautiful to look at.

#2: More Resilient
Folded swords are certainly about more than aesthetics. The process was developed in order to make swords stronger and more resilient. The folding action forces the metal to strengthen by forcing the material to bond with itself repeatedly. This is why samurai swords are renowned for their durability compared to other types out there. And, this process makes them more resistant to various unfavorable conditions as well.

#3: Handcrafted
Any sword enthusiast will tell you that handcrafted swords are a lost art form, as manufacturers have largely embraced more advanced and convenient methods. Therefore, it’s not surprising that these handmade swords are a rare treat for collectors. Handmade swords undoubtedly have more character and pay tribute to the ancient swordsmith techniques that gave us the beautiful models that we still enjoy to this day.

#4: They're More Rare
Forge folded handmade swords are extremely rare compared to other, more commonly available swords that you’ll find. This rarity adds value to the sword, even on a personal level aside from a financial one.

#5: Have Fewer Impurities
Interestingly, the folding process used to create these swords decreases the level of impurities in the blade. By working the metal by folding it, impurities are far less likely to occur, which creates a more uniform material.
